INDIANAPOLIS


Working in partnership with Herbert Simon Family Foundation and the Central Indiana Community Foundation, we are thrilled to bring the Artists at Work program to Indianapolis, a dynamic city with a rich history and deep cultural and community connections. AAW will employ five Indianapolis-based artists in 2024 who will leverage their art and creativity for social impact in their local communities. Please read below for information on each of the talented AAW Artists in Indianapolis and stay tuned for updates on their work throughout the year.

The implementation of Artists At Work in Indianapolis was made possible by the support of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation.
